We are the engineers who take AI systems the last mile — from a prototype that works to a system that keeps working.
Most AI projects do not fail because the idea was wrong. They fail in the stretch between a prototype that impresses and a system that survives real data, real volume, and real users — data pipelines, unreliable outputs, cost that compounds quietly, and no way to prove the thing still works six months on.
We built Altiv Labs to work in that stretch. Two pillars, one team: engineers who ship production AI systems, and a hardware R&D lab for the RF, power, and edge work that gets you the data in the first place. Most of the problems worth solving need both.
How we work
Scope and price are fixed in the discovery sprint, before the build starts — with the trade-offs written down.
3 days · 1 engineer. Confirm the opportunity is real and the data supports it, before anyone writes production code.
Duration and team size are set by data readiness, the integration surface, and how much evaluation the system needs — all fixed in the discovery sprint, before we quote.
Our engineers work inside your team on your roadmap, at a fixed monthly rate. Team size is set with you and can change month to month.
At a glance
Headquartered in Porto Alegre, Brazil. We work in English, German, Spanish, and Portuguese, and have delivered for teams across South America, North America, Europe, and the Middle East.
Industries
Named because it matters: these are sectors we have shipped production systems in, not sectors we are willing to consider.
Audience measurement and content pipelines for large advertising and display networks, including Clear Channel.
Multi-agent document and invoice pipelines that reconcile against an ERP at volume, with an audit log on every action. Clients include Cielo, Brazil’s largest payment processor.
Automated optical inspection running at the edge on a tier-1 European electronics OEM’s production lines, trained on their own line data and wired into the existing MES.
Conversational AI for museums and visitor attractions — built with IBM, grounded in the venue’s own archive, and recognised with a Cannes Lions and a D&AD Impact award.
We are a small senior team, headquartered in Brazil and working with clients across Europe, North America, and the Gulf. You talk to the people building your system, not to an account layer in front of them. We tell you when the simpler approach wins, when your data is not ready, and when the honest answer is that you do not need us — the trade-offs go in writing, and the work is yours to keep either way.
